Hey guys, been a while since I've been on here but wow! What a fun permission! Took advantage of this amazing February weather and got out today way north for a bit of permission seeking. Didn't get on this spot til 10 and worked it as hard as I could until 1230 cherry picking basically. 1st target was the 1882 indian so I was pumped for sure! Ended up getting a nickel trifecta - war, buff, V- (1st time ever). 2 roosies, 2 indians, 11 wheats (39 fty) and my oldest American silver coin the 1857 seated dime!!! (7 silver fty)😎 that sucker was deep and when it finally revealed itself I saw the older style "one dime" on the back so I knew I had something great. You could imagine my excitement when I saw that coin purse in the hole, there was 1 wheat in the hole with it 😕. Also got some play coins all in 1 spill and the hook looking thing that I can use a little help identifying. Man all in all, this was just what I needed, a nice 1850s permission that I was able to grid nice and come up with some good targets! I kinda wanna kick my feet up and say "ahhhh" lol it was a blast! Thanks for looking and hh! 2017-02-23 15.42.51-1.webp20170223_145631-1.webp20170223_145420-1.webp20170223_145402-1.webp2017-02-23 16.36.55-1.webp20170223_151716-1.webp20170223_151730-1.webp20170223_145817-1.webp2017-02-23 15.44.34-1.webp20170223_124006-1.webp

Hi; Way to go.!!! Now you have to go back, Grid the area with ropes, then research the whole area again. REASON: With that many silver coins including the old silver there MUST be more there. Go For It.!!! Let us know ok. PEACE:RONB
 

That is a amazing two and a half hour dig! Congratulations, great digs
 

Congrats on that oldie of a silver.
 

Very nice seated Chris. Good to hear you're out getting dirty. Cheers
 

Congrats on the seated!!!!!!
 

Awesome finds from an awesome permission Chris, I'd still be stoked. :headbang: That is one sweet permission, can't wait to see what else you pull from there. Congrats on digging a fist full of keepers including your oldest silver.
 

Holy cow! I'm still waiting on a hunt like that. There is no doubt you will want to hit that place after every rain and dig everything above iron, then dig the iron till you find what's below that. Who knows you could even find a gold coin hanging out in there.
 

WOW!! Those are some VERY nice finds :thumbsup: Outstanding!!
 

Congratualtions on the killer coin shooting hunt! :occasion14:
